Pain Relief » What Is Tennis Elbow?

What Is Tennis Elbow?

September 15, 2014 By Tim Burnell, PT

Tennis Elbow and Physical Therapy

You do not have to be a tennis player to get a condition commonly known as “tennis elbow“.  This painful condition is not restricted to those who play tennis. Tennis Elbow also known as lateral epicondylitis is a diagnosis made when an inflamed tendon contributes to pain and soreness around the outside of the elbow. The lateral epicondyle is a bony region at the outside of the elbow for which the tendons on the back of the forearm attach to.

Tennis elbow is considered a repetitive movement injury. The name “tennis elbow” is derived from repetitive movements that commonly occur when playing tennis. During a backhanded tennis swing, the vibratory force of the ball hitting the tennis racquet travels up the forearm musculature & ends at the bony region where the tendons attach (a tendon attaches muscle to bone). This repetitive vibratory force and repetitive movement can cause lateral epicondylitis or “inflammation of the lateral epicondyle”

Symptoms of tennis elbow such as pain & soreness are more evident when the palm is turned up or ‘supinated’. Pain and inflammation in the tendons at the forearm makes the hand, wrist & forearm movement uncomfortable & may alter your everyday activities.

There are many repetitive motion activities which can contribute to tennis elbow. Here are a few: working on an industrial machine, desk job (typing), painting, cooking & working out in the gym. Of course sports other than tennis can cause tennis elbow. Tennis elbow can also be caused by a direct blow/trauma to the tendons & muscles of the elbow region.

The team of licensed Physical Therapists and Occupational therapists at Back In Motion Sarasota Physical Therapy will assist you in eliminating your pain & use the latest techniques and equipment to decrease inflammation.  Elbow pain relief can be simple but if left untreated or misdiagnosed, can become more severe and problematic.

We will teach you how to perform the stretching and strengthening movements at home and give you a custom, individualized computer generated easy to read home based program.

  • Find out what caused the tennis elbow in the first place & then teach you how to avoid putting stress on the elbow
  • Find out muscle balance problems with flexibility & strength testing
  • Promote healing with use of FDA approved revolutionary equipment
  • Create a custom home based exercise program to get you better quicker.
